Looks like it. And looks like it's done on purpose, although I don't know
what this purpose is:
(defun font-lock-compile-keyword (keyword)
(cond ((nlistp keyword) ; MATCHER
(list keyword '(0 font-lock-keyword-face)))
((eq (car keyword) 'eval) ; (eval . FORM)
(font-lock-compile-keyword (eval (cdr keyword))))
((eq (car-safe (cdr keyword)) 'quote) ; (MATCHER . 'FORM)
;; If FORM is a FACENAME then quote it. Otherwise ignore the quote.
(if (symbolp (nth 2 keyword))
(list (car keyword) (list 0 (cdr keyword)))
(font-lock-compile-keyword (cons (car keyword) (nth 2 keyword)))))
((numberp (cdr keyword)) ; (MATCHER . MATCH)
(list (car keyword) (list (cdr keyword) 'font-lock-keyword-face)))
((symbolp (cdr keyword)) ; (MATCHER . FACENAME)
(list (car keyword) (list 0 (cdr keyword))))
((nlistp (nth 1 keyword)) ; (MATCHER . HIGHLIGHT)
(list (car keyword) (cdr keyword)))
(t ; (MATCHER HIGHLIGHT ...)
keyword)))
